Poker Slang

Like any other sub-culture, the poker world has many bits of unique slang. Many of the poker world's memes are derived from other general internet culture trends. Communities such as 4chan oddly enough tend to lead the way in the memes of today's internet and, like any other online community, online poker players have picked up on those memes and made them their own. We don't claim that every bit of poker slang is only poker-specific. That is definitely not the case. But some (such as, say, swongs) are completely poker-specific. Invented by a poker player, used on a poker forum and sustained by the poker community. There are countless terms similarly qualifying as poker-only slang.
